This is a letter of endorsement for the southeast camp and conference center effort. For three years running the annual meeting of the Mid-South District voted unanimously to seek the development of such a place. I am delighted that SUUSI has moved so carefully
and thoughtfully ahead in this matter.

As a professional in liberal religious leadership, and as one with eighteen years experience with UU summer camps and conference centers, I am encouraged that the UUs of the southeast might soon enjoy the resource of such a place. As our region has grown in UU membership and emerged as an active and vibrant corner of American UUism, so too are we looking in a timely fashion toward the appropriate creation of institutional resources to provide a framework for our area UU programming. I think this camp and conference center can be such a place.
